Hello!
I have an automation that will run when Alarmo triggers. It contains a script, because I wanted to build out that part of the sequence separately for easier adding/subtracting of other actions at a later date. The issue I’m having is that I want everything to stop and reset if we disarm the alarm while it’s running. But I can’t get that to work. Here’s my automation and script:
description: >-
If the alarm is triggered the Sonos siren routine runs. If the alarm is
disarmed or 3 minutes pass, it stops the routine.
triggers:
- trigger: state
entity_id:

Now, if I manually trigger the “script.turn_off” step of the automation while the Sonos announcement is speaking, no further steps are carried out once it finishes. But if I disarm the alarm while it is speaking, the MP3 still plays afterwards. If I disarm after the Sonos announcement finishes but while the siren MP3 is playing, it stops as expected.
To test further, I also added simple light.turn_on and light.turn_off actions, and those behaved the same way - if the alarm disarm trigger happened while Sonos was speaking, the script continued anyway. But if I disabled the Sonos parts, the light turned off when the alarm was disarmed. So I think it’s something with the script and/or the TTS aspect of it all.
Any ideas? I’m no pro, but I can futz my way around YAML with some help. I built the automation and script with the visual editor, in case that’s relevant. I appreciate any help the community can provide. Thanks!
